Christ Journey Church

Everybody’s got regrets, but not everybody admits it. Some try to cover them up, pretend they don't exist, stuff them away, ignore them or paint over them with self-righteous hypocrisy or religious cosmetics. What about you?

According to Jesus we are not the source of living our best life… God is! No matter how hard we try at it, we are bound to encounter interference opposing our progress, but Jesus is willing and able to help in that part of the journey. You can rise to your full potential in life!

Happy Easter! This is the day the Lord has made; we will rejoice and be glad in it. Jesus Christ has risen from the dead! What does this mean for us right now?

Do you live giving thought to what you are leaving behind? Would how you live still give life even after you’ve passed away? These may be tough questions to ask, but God’s life-giving grace can help!

For some, pride remains their core compass throughout all of life, following the needle back to themselves. Sadly, they don’t get very far that way. The same doesn’t have to be true for you. What if living with the end in mind could shape the quality of your life here and now?

Many Bible stories tell of people trapped in their own self will. Pride kept them from trusting God and obeying His call on their lives. Is this a struggle for you? It doesn’t have to be! When you realize your power isn’t enough, God can work in you and bring change.

When we take a step of faith that shows we are putting our resources in God’s hands, miracles can happen. When we just can’t see a way, we are to trust God and live by faith not sight. What is empty in your life you’d like to see God fill?

What can you do when your hope is leaking dry? When it feels like others won’t give you a break or make you feel invisible? It’s not hard to feel like the chaos of life and corruption in this world sucks all the breathable air right out of the room. There is a way through the madness to get to a new day filled with fresh hope.

Depression and mental health struggles can dominate much of our lives or ones we love. The word of God is our sword of the Spirit, the primary weapon we use in spiritual battles of the mind. Jesus can meet you in the crisis with new hope.

4,000 years ago the ancient Egyptians built a civilization based on their belief in the afterlife. The ancient Greeks also held a belief system claiming the immortality of the soul. So what happens when we die? What is death?

What will heaven be like? Heaven will be like a new city, a new garden and a new home. Nothing impure is allowed. The happiness of heaven isn't being lazy forever. It’s the satisfaction of co-laboring with God in his work.

How would Jesus respond to abortion? It is so much more than political controversy. It literally is a matter of life and death.

As Christians, what is our responsibility, if any, to the environment, climate, nature, the wild, this planet, and beyond? Christians have the clearest mandate of all to lead the world on environmental issues. So let’s show our trust in the Lord by stewarding our plot of the garden well.

Join us today where guest speaker, Charlie Styles, from the Oxford Centre for Christian Apologetics, unpacks what scripture has to say about our human nature and its origins.

Racism is a serious topic and it matters greatly today. What would Jesus do with racism? Would he be a target in today’s world? How do you approach the subject?

Is Christianity harmful? Is it dangerous? Jesus said, it can be. But before coming to the conclusion it all needs to be thrown out, maybe we should see if it’s being applied according to God’s directions.

New Years Day Message   “Brothers and sisters, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: forgetting what is behind and straining towards what is ahead, I press on towards the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenwards in Christ Jesus.” —PHILIPPIANS 3:13-14 NIV

God gives himself, the Perfect Present, after much time and thought. He loves you and wants you in a personal relationship with him as family. Is it time to receive God's perfect present? If you already know Christ, is it time to dig deeper into the gift and get closer to God?

Gifts are meant for giving. Can you think of a time when you couldn’t wait to give that perfect gift to your loved one because you just knew that they would love it? Do you recall how you felt? God gave his one and only Son for us as a perfect gift to save us here and now for the future hope of life together with our Heavenly Father.

Sometimes the way a gift is wrapped is part of the gift. Wrapping matters - and the same is especially true of the present God gave on that first Christmas. Jesus became God's perfect present as a fully human being. Yes, he was God the Son, but he never used his God power for himself.

What does it take to give the perfect present? Usually an exchange of something that cost someone in some way, shape, or form. God knew the value in giving us the gift of Himself - the truest answer to all we need and want.

What do you do to give the perfect present? It takes time and thought! God did the same thing when it came to giving that unspeakable, indescribable, too wonderful for words gift that first Christmas.

What's the key to a healthy and productive spiritual life? How can you thrive in a world of hate? There is an answer and it is within your reach!

Christ's first followers tell of one whose blood was shed for the nations, whose death would provide life and healing for all who believe. This is the central message of the New Testament. God’s love can transform suffering into generosity if you let him.

Trials and troubles can push you further away from God or push you closer to Him. It all depends on where you are standing – are you close to God or not?
